- Recommended Primers
Substrate Recommended Primer
Aluminum/Galvanized Steel/Stainless Steel B-875/T-63 or N-8564A/B Wash Primer
Ductile or Gray Iron Castings Apply the N-8959A/B directly to clean steel.
Plastics Due to the wide variety of plastic/fiberglass substrates, the system performance should be tested and confirmed on actual substrate.
Previously Painted Surfaces Surface should be intact and sound. All loose and flaking material removed and bare spots primed with an appropriate primer. An area should be tested with the coating to assure compatibility.
Steel Apply the N-8959A/B directly to the clean steel.
Wood Due to the wide variety of wood substrates, the system performance should be tested and confirmed on actual substrate.

Tip: 0.011 - 0.013”Brush and Roll : The use of natural china chip bristle brushes or ¼” maximum nap mohair type rollers is highly recommended to limit the amount of orange peel.
*Note: The above parameters are to be used as a guideline only. Customer specific equipment may require a different set-up
- Surface Preparation
Do not apply if the application surface temperature is below 45°F (7°C) or above 110°F (43°C), or if the surface temperature is within 5°F of the dew point. It is highly recommended that sound practices as set forth by SSPC or NACE be followed when preparing a substrate for painting. At a minimum the surface should be clean of all grease, dirt, oil, rust and foreign material that would be detrimental to proper adhesion and desired performance of the coating system being applied.
